City did the ultimate
of feats in its goals, by defeating one of the league invincible and premier
squads, the two times League of Ireland champions the Dundalk Lilywhites. For
the Rebel Army Boss John Caulfield, with this win over the defending champions,
it was a step in the right direction as well for his club aspirations.
Suddenly the tables
are turning in favor of the City Boys after this win on the weekend over the
Lilywhites, by moving within one point of the league leaders and their latest
victims, as the Loth County chaps considered as one of the most difficult squads
to beat in league play.
Still the Rebel Army has
managed to beat Stephen Kenny squad in a couple of times in this edition of the
Airtricity League of Ireland and both by one goal, showoff tier mastery over the
champion’s strikers.
So far, the Leesiders
in the Euro break are enjoying comfortably their second place spot, with thirty-five
points and an impressive record of eleven wins one loss and three draws. With a continuance of this squad superb
performance all campaign, the prospects of Caulfield delivering the league shield
at Turners Cross are enormous!
With the league far
from over and a very challenging calendar, after the break playing against another
squad looking to show off its mettle and return to their old glories, the Shamrock
Rovers will be one tough challenge as well match for the Leesiders.
Three matches playing
away will really put on the pressure for the City chaps looking once in for all
in displacing the Lilywhites from the league top and be in the top of the
league overall table. Still the prospects of mounting a perfect stand will be
up for to them.
Very well making a
stand with their upcoming challenges in league play, when they have a not so
easy schedule with squads that are suddenly surging in the league table and
Cork City will have to face to get a positive result in each of its
compromises.
After playing the Shamrock
Rovers at Tallaght, the return to Turners Cross and face a belligerent Sligo
Rovers, after that Wexford Youths, Galway United and Finn Harps, putting the Leesiders
in a tough test to see their readiness to be the league monarchs.
At the end we must
state that there is quite some time for this league to be over and with many
challenges ahead in league and tournaments ahead, Manager John Caufield will
have his hands full to deliver to his followers that desired and covered piece
of silverware.
As they state third time is the charm and for
two years in a row the Rebel Army has seen their hopes done the drain after
seeing a perseverant Dundalk squad winning it at the end, still persistence has
its ways.
As many see in Cork
City potential to become the league new champions and dethrone the existing top
rated Dundalk looking for its third league shield in a consecutive manner, but in
the case of the Airtricity league is very far from over.
For now the Leesiders
will mount on a one of a kind challenge and set their goals in their efforts of
delivering in this campaign the most coveted piece into the halls of Turners
Cross Stadium, is this the their time? There is one way to find out for John Caulfield
and his pumped up Boys!
